Here are a couple shots of the flock tonight, wow, some snow to shovel! We like to keep the area where they loaf pretty clear of snow so when it does melt off in the sun the place stays pretty dry. The old stitch in nine saves time principle! Jasper's mama, Jackie,...
Finally the snow arrives here in New England. And with a bang! I took this picture of the yard last night before the storm rolled in and here it is again at 11AM with the brunt of the storm yet to hit. We are expected to get anywhere from 15-30". There is a snow...
Happy Valentine's Day to all you sweethearts! I went to the barn to check the sheep a bit ago and they are pretty comfy. Lots of roofed areas and no wind. I spent a long time with Jasper today (pictured in May), he has become my fav little fella, a real shmoozer. He...
Here is the logger and forester, Gary and Swift, who are managing our logging project. Gary started the cutting today, perfect conditions, good frozen ground and very little snow cover. For today, that is. Rumor has it we are in for our first snowstorm on Wednesday....

This year I have RESOLVED! to finish up all the fiber projects I have stashed away on my studio shelves. It's a common affliction for fiber addicts like me to have a number of different projects going; one may be simple knitting for times when we don't want to count...
It's 5 below here this morning and this is when our old house makes beautiful frosted window etchings. This one is very cool the way the long straight lines form a mountain peak behind the sheep, also a resemblance in the lines that outlines the state of NH and the...
Today on my morning walk with the dogs I stopped to look around and wanted to share this thought with you. As you travel through your day and the ones to follow, try to envision your life in small components; perhaps the snow flakes as they fall by your window, your...
